Travolta’s bad hair days

It’s a case of hair today and gone tomorrow as John Travolta has been recently spotted with and without the hair-piece in the same day.

Now having admitted to having to using a weave to give him the look of his younger days, he looks to have had some moments of confusion deciding to go without.

The 57-year-old Hollywood actor was seen sporting a much balder look after playing tennis with some friends, but then hours later he had a beaming smile on his face with a thick full head of hair.

The more natural look of receding hairline and thinning hair is a far-cry from his most famous role as ‘Danny Zuko’, where he had a plethora of luscious locks he continuously combed to make the girls swoon.

The Grease star seems to be unsure of the best method for balding solutions, however to create a look with more consistency, he could turn to MHT^® scalp pigmentation technique that provides a more modern permanent style, than the old-fashioned toupee or weave.

The ground-breaking scalp pigmentation technique was pioneered and launched 9 years ago by HIS Hair and creates a natural looking simulation of micro hairs on the scalp, creating the appearance of a short cropped hair style, like Wentworth Miller and Vin Diesel.

MHT® scalp pigmentation involves no surgery, no scarring and no hair pieces, meaning Travolta could keep a constant hair style and avoid bad hair days like today.

  

Two and a Half Hairs

As 28 million tuned in to watch the first episode of Two and a Half Men since the bizarre exit of Charlie Sheen, the focus was not on Ashton Kutcher, Charlie’s replacement, but on Jon Cryer and his re-appearing hair.

On screen Jon Cryer plays the hapless Alan Harper who lives in the shadow of his rich, alcoholic, womanising brother, Charlie Harper (played by Sheen). Life imitating art anyone?

Off screen this week, Cryer was spotted by Daily Mail finishing the Malibu Triathlon with a thinning crown on top, but then hours later he was up on stage at the Emmy Awards presenting an award whilst showing off a full head of hair?

Forget the confusion surrounding Charlie’s demise from the show, this is the real mystery!

 

For 46-year-old Cryer, the thought of going bald must be too much to ‘bare’ as experts believe he has used a toupee or weave, however there are more natural looking ways to create a look with thinning hair – as the MHT^® scalp pigmentation proves!

HIS Hair have created MHT^® scalp pigmentation that gives the appearance of a cropped shaved look for balding men.

With a clinic currently being opened in LA, Jon Cryer would have no difficulty heading into the treatment centre and coming out looking rugged and natural, rather than pretending he used miracle grow in the afternoon!

Midlands Media Challenge – Furore girls don’t finish last!

The challenge was simple, get all the PROs and Journalists from in and around Birmingham into a room, throw down the gauntlet of a pub quiz style evening and let the competition begin.


The room was actually the upstairs of the very lovely ‘Nuvo’ bar near Broad Street, and the quizmaster was the extremely distinguished Bob Warman off of Central News fame, complete with cheeky jokes and a warming smile.

Prize wise, it was not just the champagne that got us excited, or the Milk Tray that had Nav’s eyes lit up, but the prestigious honour of hopefully not coming last in the Midlands Media Challenge (we had high hopes).

So how did the Furore PR girls get on?

General knowledge – we’re not that blonde you know. 8 out of 10 thank-you!

Music – Steph whipped out her extensive knowledge of funk and soul to gain maximum points!

Media – This was our speciality baby! But who did invent the radio? Answers on a postcard!

Picture – If only Nikki could remember The South Bank Show, but she could hum the tune!

Birmingham – We are ashamed to say we didn’t know Birmingham’s motto ‘Forward’! Did you?

Overall, we came SIXTH (from bottom)! Well, we were pleased anyway.

With over £2000 raised for Birmingham’s Air Ambulance it was a successful night all round, so we’re off to start revising for the next one...

Thanks to the CIPR for organising the fantastic event.

HIS Hair open days

Hairloss Improvement Specialists, HIS Hair will be holding open days at their London and Birmingham clinics, talking through and demonstrating the benefits of their ground-breaking  Scalp Pigmentation MHT^® treatment.

Managing Director, Ranbir Rai-Watson performing Scalp Pigmentation MHT^®  

 The first open day is being held at the Birmingham clinic on Tuesday 13^th September, from 9am to 5pm and the second one at the Harley Street clinic, in London on Thursday 15^th September, from 2pm to 5pm.

These open days will give potential clients, press, forum users, hairdressers and other people in the hair trade the opportunity to meet some of the clients and practitioners to answer any potential questions or queries.

There will also be a current client called Gurnam Sandhu present, who has had half his head treated by MHT^® and the other half not. He will help demonstrate the most realistic 'before and after' possible – allowing people to see the difference between just shaving the hair and a scalp with MHT^®. Gurnam will be present at both open days, and will provide a unique opportunity to see MHT^® in action from a never-seen-before perspective. Please note that this is a one-off opportunity. Gurnam will soon be having his entire head treated with MHT^®.

To pay or not to pay

We were flicking through the pages of yesterday’s (Sunday 21st August) The People and we saw an article about a young man who has had received treatment for hair loss courtesy of the NHS. The revelation that someone he was able to get free treatment from the NHS simply because he had a receding hair line certainly opened up a can of worms. It conjured up the debate about whether hair loss treatments should be made available free on the NHS. If people are able to get gastric bands, breast augmentations and ears pinned back, why can’t they have MHT or hair transplants made available for no cost?



The average price for a Gastric band is £7000, since it was made available on the NHS in 2000; thousands of patients have opted for the treatment. In fact obesity related surgery costs the NHS £32million each year.


Breast augmentation whether it is a reduction or enlargement can only be provided on the NHS if someone is under severe psychological distress with the average cost of surgery being £4000.


Having a procedure to pin ears back or ‘Otoplasty’ as it is otherwise known is the most common cosmetic surgical procedures in the UK and America, the average cost of pinning the ears is £2000. Whilst it is difficult to get surgery free on the NHS due to the fact that it is classed as cosmetic surgery, exceptions can be made. If the patient is mentally traumatised by the appearance of their ears, treatment can be provided on the NHS.



With that in mind, surely the noted effects of hair loss such as low self esteem, lack of confidence and extreme negative personal views of appearance would mean that treatment for hair loss would meet the criteria for being eligible to become free on the NHS. There are many men who suffer in silence about their hair loss finding it difficult to seek helpful solutions are gaining adequate treatment. As we’ve noted over the past year or so it’s always been quite easy for celebrities to spend tens of thousands of pounds on hair transplants – an option that is inconceivable for average men who aren’t millionaires. For those men who don’t want to have such a drastic procedure such as a hair transplant MHT is a simple and discrete option for GP’s to discuss with patients.


We think it’s important to highlight the distress that millions of men in the UK endure on a daily basis due to hair loss issues.

Gaga goes ga-ga over student's talent!

We’re sending out our congrats to a little known student that obviously has a wealth of talent! Rebecca Short is currently living a dream come true as it was revealed that Lady Gaga had opted to wear one of her fashion creations. Gaga wore the nude coloured rubber dress at a press conference in Singapore – as usual all eyes were on the singer and Rebecca was stunned to hear and see that Gaga was wearing the dress! The singer’s stylist had seen Rebecca’s dress at Graduate Fashion Week in London and was obviously drawn to it.

The most exciting part of this story is the fact that Rebecca is a fashion student from Birmingham City University – this just proves the amount of talent that the city of Birmingham has to offer. The region is overflowing with creative talent just waiting to explode. We wonder who the next celebrity will be to pick up on talent of Brum……Beyonce, Rihanna, Angelina?? Who knows!
